+1 The Grizz are very dangerous. We don't have a choice. We lose tomorrow and the Spurs are done.

If you play Manu tomorrow and he gets a hit on his elbow that takes him out for the season, especially if it's a hit that he would be able to withstand with a few more days of rest, then it's not a good choice.

To beat the dead horse some more, if you drop Splitter into the rotation, you can pretty much let Manu rest as long as you want. Shoring up the play of the Grizzlies' front line would pretty much eliminate any chance they have of winning another game, let alone the series.

I just don't see Pop playing Splitter.

Yeah that isn't true.

There's absolutely no ing way. If Bonner and Blair got hurt today, Novak would get more minutes than Splitter tomorrow. My point was simply that you wouldn't have to rush Manu back if you actually played your best (and only) center alongside your best power forward for a change.

Great now Pop is going to sit Manu just to spite Stein...
